Wastewater

Aclarus Ozone designs and engineers proprietary wastewater treatment solutions for small to mid-sized applications including municipalities with populations of 100,000 or less.

Ozone has been used for water disinfection for more than 100 years however prior to the 1970’s chlorine was the global standard for wastewater treatment. When it was discovered that chlorine treatment created toxic THM’s, interest in ozone significantly increased. Today more than 5000 cities use ozone for their municipal water treatment.

Ozone is universally recognized as a far more effective disinfectant than chlorine. It is the fastest, strongest and most environmentally friendly water treatment technology available. Ozone breaks down rapidly to oxygen after contact and leaves no residuals in the effluent water.

 

Municipal Ozone Wastewater Treatment Installation

Ozone is the fastest growing technology in the global water disinfection market today.

Here’s why Aclarus Ozone is the superior solution for your wastewater treatment:

✓ Dedicated Team

Our team of water professionals have engineered and installed more than 1000 Aclarus ozone systems. We understand the municipal bid process and can provide our expertise throughout the process.

✓ Proprietary Technology

Aclarus proprietary ozone technology is engineered and rigorously tested to meet your exact specifications and wastewater requirements. We provide comprehensive on-site and in-house laboratory testing.

✓ Quick Return on Investment (ROI)

The savings from the elimination or reduction of sewage dumping fees have resulted in an ROI in as little as one year.

✓ Increased Dissolved Oxygen

Aclarus Ozone increases the dissolved oxygen content in the effluent which can eliminate the need for reaeration and elevate the dissolved oxygen content in the receiving waterway.

✓ Comprehensive Treatment

Aclarus Ozone is a comprehensive treatment solution that provides disinfection, oxidation and aesthetic water treatment.

✓ Lowest Lifecycle Cost

Aclarus Ozone has the lowest life cycle cost versus chlorine and UV. The average municipal water treatment cost is 5-10 cents per 1m3.

✓ Environmentally Friendly

Aclarus Ozone is environmentally friendly - chemical free and energy efficient.

✓ Lifetime Customer Support

Aclarus commitment to customer service provides assurance that you’ll receive reliable, responsive support for the life of your system.

 

✓ More Effective

Ozone is more effective than chlorine in destroying viruses and bacteria. Aclarus Ozone is a very strong chemical-free disinfectant effective at treating the most complex water problems. The Aclarus Treatment List includes pathogens (bacteria, viruses, cysts), contaminants (metals, inorganics, organics) and contaminants of emerging concern (pharmaceuticals, microplastics, petrochemicals, PFA’s).

✓ Compatibility with Ultra Violet (UV)

Aclarus Ozone works well with Ultra Violet (UV) as an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). Ozone will disinfect and clarify the water to enable the UV to work. Hydroxyl radical is formed when ozone hits the UV light which results in instant treatment of the water source. Ozone then breaks down to oxygen ready for discharge.

✓ Short Contact Period

Aclarus high flow ozone treatment process requires relatively short contact time, approximately 10 to 30 seconds. Our systems run on-demand with exceptionally high uptime performance.

✓ Compact and Modular

Aclarus Ozone systems are compact, modular and easily retro-fit on a small footprint within existing infrastructure.

✓ Minimal Maintenance

Systems require minimal maintenance, and don’t require chemicals that need to be monitored.

✓ Onsite Generation

Ozone is generated onsite. There are no operator safety issues associated with shipping and handling of chemicals.

 Municipal Water Case Study

 

Town of Cobourg

Cobourg’s wastewater treatment facility had used chlorine as a disinfectant for its wastewater since 1969 and later added sulphur dioxide as a final step. In 2016, the town needed to test a chlorine-free wastewater treatment that would accomplish a number of goals.
